8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day

Total Cost: $495

This class, presented by Monroe Infrared, is geared to the new IR Camera owner with a focus on thermal imager applications for home and commercial building inspections. Attendees successfully completing all training course requirements, including a course examination can receive confirmation as a Certified Residential Thermographer in both licensing and non-licensing states.

Students complete the course with a much better understanding of the capabilities and applications of thermal imaging, as well as more confidence and competence to immediately put that knowledge to use. Customers are getting smarter and expecting home inspectors and other residential building professionals to utilize all the tools available to provide them the best information available. Infrared thermography is a powerful technology that helps home inspectors locate, identify, quantify, and communicate today what could be a much bigger issue for the customer tomorrow.

Class Benefits:

Introduction to thermal imaging and measurement systems for predictive inspection and maintenance applications. NO experience in thermography or infrared camera use is necessary, nor is it mandatory to own your own infrared camera.

Collect quality data and accurate temperature readings, and account for measurement effects, such as distance and emissivity using infrared cameras with different capabilities.

See the latest in infrared inspection report generation and database software.

Avoid costly mistakes. Learn to distinguish between hot spots and reflections, direct versus indirect temperature readings, moisture versus air infiltration and air exfiltration, and many more concepts.

Challenge yourself and learn during hands-on infrared camera applications labs that simulate real-world home and building inspection applications for infrared thermal imaging to provide greater information and valuable insights.

Open to Everyone

In this class you will learn tips and tricks of the trade from real world use of a thermal imaging camera during various aspects of a building inspection. There will topics on the influence of the environment, both inside and out, and what affect it can have on your infrared camera. You will learn how some items can appear and disappear from your viewer screen and influence of several factors that can cause this to happen. The class will cover the subject of emissivity, reflection, transmission, delta-t and thermal mass and more.... There will be sections on the history of thermography, how to write reports, liability issues and ways to earn various income streams that are within and outside the normal home inspection clientele. Plus, factors to consider when buying an infrared camera and what to look for when selecting the type of training you need based on your plans. It is a fast paced class, with a time for questions and answers during the final session.
